"What comes to your mind when you think of plastic?" asked Ashley Fernandes.
Plastic began as a life-changing discovery to the world. At this point, almost every aspect of our lives involves using items that are made from plastic materials. Smartphones, chairs, spoons, and bags these are all items that we come across every single day. Not to mention the hundreds of take-out containers one person uses and dispose of every day.
Time passes by quickly and we fail to notice that every item of plastic that has ever been created is still with us on the planet today. They end up in huge landfills that are starting to contaminate and destroy the majestic environment and resources that we once had.
With plastics rapidly piling and contaminating our resources and well-being, how can we save not the planet, but our own future?
